Worked in & shopped in his stores, stores like Bath & Body Works, Lane Bryant.

I had radiographs done at the OSU Wexner Medical Center

I enjoyed films & events at the Wexner Center for the Arts on the OSU campus.

It says he sold it to him.

It was purchased for $13.2 million by the billionaire businessman Leslie Wexner in 1989. Jeffrey Epstein moved into the house in 1995, at which time he claimed to own it, although its registered ownership changed in 2011 from a trust connected to both Wexner and Epstein to a trust controlled by Epstein.

There was some shady dealing with the house changing ownership in 1998 and 2011, with the transfer price in 2011 being $0. It may be that Wexner in some way sold it to Epstein for nothing. But given that Wexner bought it and owned it for 6 years before Epstein moved in, I don't see how one can say he bought it FOR Epstein.

Last I read was that Wexner gave Epstein 100% financial power of attorney. He could do ANYTHING with Wexner’s money. One of which was doing a sweetheart transaction that put that mansion in Epstein’s hands.
